Regret

"Just what kind of father would I be to let my only child sit there and get abused by their mother and constantly bullied by his classmates? The moment I saw you with those bruises on your body, I wanted to curse the world for treating you this way. Even if I am your father, I don't have to rights to tell who you should like or not. You are your own man. I'm just here to keep you at peace."

- Arson

Gret spent the rest of his elementary and middle school years in Manila, where he struggled trying to make friends. But he became connected with only one boy who treated him well. When he thought he was his only friend in school, Ocampo ended up developing feelings for him. He had a crush, and he confessed right after realizing it - one of the biggest mistakes he had made in his lifetime.

He was rejected profusely and his only friend left him. Rumors spread throughout his school and eventually the word spread to his mother, who took it much more than the rest of those that knew.
Not only Gret was bullied every other day by his classmates and ex-friend, but his mother treated him terribly. He'd constantly get into fights, and objects thrown at him wherever he went, while he'd leave home and come home with at least one or two cuts and bruises on his body.

The only one that saw this as a horrid event was when his father finally came to visit since the divorce. Arson's heart was broken into two after he saw bruises that covered him when his mom struck him across the face with a bible.
Arson had to forcefully take Gret back home with him in a shaggy, but decent apartment. Gret's years back in the Philippines only assumed that his father would've treated him the same as his mother, but the next few days were not only peaceful - he felt happy. 

"I used to be scared of you when I first met you in highschool. But now? I think you're probably one of the most coolest people I've met. There are days where I can be just like you. Or rather, I wished there was more people like you. You're radiating confidence and you rarely give two shits about people who don't like you. You're like a wall who won't let people's opinions push you down."

- Elliot

Soon after Gret flew back to America with his father and settled into home quickly, he reconnected with Emery as soon as he could. Emery, regardless of how much he's changed, still welcomed him with open arms.
He enrolled into the same highschool as Emery, soon after the both of them getting along just fine and having the time of his life with their best friends that joined soon after. Even after they graduated highschool, they always had plans to hang out anytime and anywhere.

Regret entered University with Elliot, where they took a couple of elective together. Soon after he met a new man, who he fell for not long after their encounter. He decided that he was going to pursue a career in music, composing songs with Motto and stay in the same wavelength with Vinny - who also plays in his own band.

• Regret was born in America but his parents divorced during his childhood years. Decided that he was going to live with his mother in the Philippines than staying in the States with his father.
• Fell in love with his only friend in middle school and confessed; everyone found out and decided to bully him because of it.
• His mother also was ashamed, and abused him out of hate and regret.
• Regret's father flew to the Philippines to see Gret. They had not seen each other since the divorce, but his father was particularly upset about his son being abused by his mother and classmates.
• His father took Regret back home in the states, where Regret lived peacefully and reconnected with his old friends, as well as making new ones.
